Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group procured an interim Land Manager to provide development management consultancy services while it completes permanent recruitment. The requirement is a professional services engagement covering land management and development management expertise, delivered across England. The buyer is Anchor Hanover Group, a public authority based in Bradford. The procurement was structured as a single service requirement, with recruitment services as the associated classification. The work is relevant to consultancies and specialist providers able to supply an interim land management professional and support development management activity across a geographically distributed housing or property portfolio. It is not a construction contract or a general recruitment exercise: the stated purpose is to provide an interim Land Manager with development management consultancy capability.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Altair Consultancy and Advisory Services was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 22 June 2026 and runs from 22 June 2026 to 24 December 2026. Its value is £55,800 excluding VAT, or £66,960 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a method recorded as unknown. The contract is active and the award is active. The published description says the interim service is required until permanent recruitment is completed in January 2027. The contracting authority is Anchor Hanover Group. The recorded outcome identifies one supplier and one contract; no separate evaluation weighting or selection criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates demand from Anchor Hanover Group for interim land management and development management consultancy support, rather than only permanent recruitment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show that it can provide an experienced interim Land Manager, manage development activity and advise on land and property matters within a housing organisation. The winning supplier is an SME consultancy and advisory business, indicating that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large national contractor. Providers should be able to mobilise an appropriately skilled consultant, operate across England and maintain continuity while a permanent appointment is being completed. Relevant experience in development management consultancy and interim senior land-management assignments would strengthen their position.
